| Abstract/Contents: | Focuses on advice given to Hubbard Golf and Recreation Club by Thomas K. Lavrenz. States that "[the greens] ranged from 30 percent to 90 percent dead, and the course as a whole, which basically looked like a cow pasture." Includes aerating using a Ransomes aerator, core-aeration, sand application, and dragging. Continues that "to get golfers out to see the progress I was making and address the issue of declining membership, we offered some strategic pricing." Details the improvement to the irrigation system, and concludes that "in less than three months, I was starting to see significant improvements in coverage on the greens." |
